Introduction to 'Procla' Programming Class

In an exciting new initiative, D-Pops Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is proud to announce the opening of the 'Procla' programming class. This innovative program, starting on March 1, 2026, is designed for elementary school students and focuses on using the popular game Minecraft to create a fun and educational environment.

Background for Launching 'Procla'

In recent years, programming education has become a mandatory part of the elementary school curriculum in Japan, prompted by the rapid progression of digital skills essential for future success. Parents often express concern about how to engage their children in such learning—which is where 'Procla' steps in. As D-Pops has historically connected with families through mobile communication services, the company wishes to deepen its engagement by supporting families over time rather than just through transient communication. 'Procla' reflects this commitment to building long-lasting relationships through education, catering to the needs of today’s youths and their families.

Features of 'Procla'

Original Learning Environment Developed by Professionals

'Procla' integrates Minecraft—an immensely popular game among children—into its curriculum. By designing unique worlds in the game, students are encouraged to explore their creativity in a stimulating learning environment.

Course Structure Focused on Achievement

The curriculum revolves around a systematic process known as the G-PDCA cycle, which includes goal setting, planning, executing, reviewing, and improving. Through repeated experiences within this structure, children develop a proactive learning attitude and a sense of self-efficacy.

Coaching that Cultivates Thinking Skills

Rather than simply providing answers, instructors employ an engaging method that encourages students to think critically by asking reflective questions such as “What do you think?” and “How would you handle this?” This approach fosters students' ability to think independently and express their ideas confidently.

Expert-Supervised Curriculum

The curriculum has been meticulously crafted and supervised by leading experts in ICT education, including Noboru Ando and Shuichi Tatsunami, known for their significant contributions to Minecraft education. The ongoing revisions to the program ensure that the learning content promotes not only knowledge acquisition but also the development of applied skills.
